Process equipment is where CFDWAYS has its deepest academic foundation — with international publications on bubble columns, hydrocracking and reforming.
Process equipment is usually closed, pressurized and running hot — sampling inside it is very limited. Inlet and outlet measurements give the overall efficiency, but not the reason it is low.
Simulation shows the velocity field, phase distribution and concentration at every position, so it points at what needs fixing instead of replacing the whole vessel.
Bubble columns, fixed beds, catalytic reactors, stirred tank reactors.
Distillation, absorption, cyclones, phase separators, impellers and mixing tanks.
Spray drying towers, fluidized-bed dryers, coolers and heat exchangers.
Industrial pumps and fans — characteristics and losses under real operating conditions.
Equipment drawings, operating conditions, fluid properties.
Checked against field measurements before the results are used.
Retrofit options run in parallel and compared quantitatively.
Report, recommendations and model files you can reuse.
Molten-metal bubble columns, hydrocracking, reforming — the foundation of the models used in projects.
